At a higher combustion temperature, this one-time
process can take between 4 to 5 hours.
To achieve this higher combustion temperature,
please increase the fuel quantity recommended
in Section 9, „Adding Fuel/ Heating with Nominal
Thermal Output“, by approximately 25%.
CAUTION!
To prevent adverse effects on health, no-
body should stay in the room(s) during
this process unless absolutely necessary.
Make sure the room is well-ventilated and
open the windows and outside doors. If
needed, use a fan for faster air circula-
tion.
If the maximum temperature is not reached dur-
ing the first heating operation, you may notice an
odour for a short period of time the next time the
stove is used as well.
8. Lighting the Fire
The firing up phase should be as short as possi-
ble, since higher emissions can occur during this
phase.
The slider settings described in Table 1 (see figure
on the right) are recommendations that were de-
termined under conformance testing conditions, in
compliance with the relevant standard. Depending
on the weather conditions and the draught capabil-
ity of your chimney, accordingly adjust the slider
positions for your Lagos to the local conditions.
CAUTION!
The Lagos may only be operated when the
fire box door is closed; the fire box door
may only be opened to add fuel.
WARNING!
Never use spirits, petrol, or other flamma-
ble fluids to light the stove.
Lighting the Fire
Procedure Position of Control
Elements
Completely open primary
and secondary air. Pull primary (I) and
secondary air slider (II) all
the way out. (fig. 6).
Open fire grate. Pull out fire grate slider.
Pile up any remaining ash
and unburned Charcoal
into the centre of the

stack approx. 0.5 kg of
dry wood chips on top.
Light the ignition material
at several places.

9. Adding Fuel / Heating at
Nominal Thermal Output
More fuel should be added to the fire when the
flames from the previous burning off phase have
just gone out.
Adding Fuel / Heating at Nominal Output
Procedure Position of
Control Elements
Adjust primary and
secondary air. Close primary air slider
(I), set secondary air
slider (II) to position 2
(fig. 7).
Close fire grate. Push in fire grate slider.
Add two logs weighing
approx. 1,4 kg in total.
Place logs with one end
to the front of fire box.
Only add a single layer
of fuel.
